On May 15, Jason Isbell and his wife, singer-songwriter/fiddler Amanda Shires played a concert at a mostly empty Brooklyn Bowl Nashville to celebrate the release of the Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit album, Reunions. Isbell and Shires just put out a live recording of their main set from May 15th exclusively via Bandcamp as Reunions: Live At Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.

“’Loving You ‘is a reflection on the life and music of Bobbie Nelson,” says Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amanda Shires. Shires’ mission in making ‘Loving You ‘is to pay respect to the only woman she saw working in a band and pursuing a career as a sideman. “I first saw Bobbie playing when I was 16 at some festival in Texas where I grew up,” she explains. “Much of my path seemed possible because I saw a woman working and making a career of music at a young age, and that woman was Bobbie Nelson.”

Recorded live at The Bend in North Charleston, SC on 11/7/20.
